The National Bowl is the only elite Non-FBS post-season all-star game that sees scouts from several NFL teams along with the CFL, and arena leagues. The bowl rosters are unique in that they give the NFL, CFL, and additional scouts a chance to view and get to know some of the best players from smaller schools many college football fans may not have even heard of.

Former NFL defensive back Jerron Wishom who played for 4 NFL teams will assist with coaching while 7 year NFL veteran Running Back of the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins Donnell Bennett Jr. will also assist with coaching giving this year's game a star studded coaching lineup.
